In response to questions about the accusations of discrimination, Bogota's Metropolitan Police sent Reuters a publicity video of officers and members of the transgender community speaking to store employees, explaining that transgender people can choose their shopping day.
"If you don't go out with make-up on, with a skirt... If you don't comply with those stereotypes and gender roles then you can't identify yourself or be in a public space," said Rodriguez, who was wearing pink eye shadow and a sparkly silver jacket.Juli Salamanca, communications director for Red Comunitaria Trans, said the coronavirus pandemic had left transgender people particularly exposed.
She said some transgender people may be afraid to report discrimination because of previous police abuse.
